Arriving in a sleek black box with a satin tied bow, Cohorted offers luxury hand-picked brands as well as one new “discovery” brand, so something you won’t have tried before. Offerings for January included favourites like Nars’ limited collection Andy Warhol eye shadow, Lancome eye cream and Smith & Cult nail varnish (a hot brand from the creator of Hard Candy). There was also a super-useful foundation brush and some ingenious anti-frizz helpers from top New York stylist Nunzio Saviano in the mix. So, considering the monthly price is £35 per month, it is well worth it.
